JodiCleghornOh babble away... love hearing about the Victory garden. In Jason's story in The Red Book - he had long passages in the beginning section about the Victory garden growing in his grandparents back yard. For length's sake I asked him to cut a lot of it out - but it was my first exposure to such a thing. I have no idea how much food went from Australia to the war effort and what people did to get by here.
If my Nanna and Pa were alive I'd be be able to ask them... but alas they passed over before I was interested in any of this stuff.
Making you feel better... my desk is a bomb shell also. It is my plan on the next dark moon - in about an hours time to give it a really good clean. I have dead flies and cobwebs on my window sill and just general crap lying about the place. The only place of my desk which is any sort of semblence of order is my writer's altar so I guess it is all good... but as you say, it's bad feng shui it is a demotivator to sit at a desk that looks like crap!
Thanks for all those message last night... we were howling with laughter at YOU as much as us. It was almost like you were there with us (but yeah... I know you'd never set foot into a movie theatre to watch a Twilight movie!)
